You can always count on us for prompt service with a smile, because we’re in on the secret, too.
Proper Door Closer Function
Your manual door closer must allow customers to enter by easily opening the door, which should glide closed quietly behind them. The visitor should perceive a bit of push-back when opening your entry door, so that they can gauge how much force is needed. Then, the door should open easily with a gentle push or pull. Once the user stops pushing/pulling, your door closer’s spring should bring the door closed, restoring it to the starting position for the next visitor.
Door Closer Repairs
The following are the most common problems we correct during door closer repair:
Existing Door Closer is the Wrong Type
If your door is heavy, it must have a sturdy door closer with heavy-duty springs. If springs are too strong, they may slam the door annoyingly and cause injury or damage. An incorrect choice of door closer is a safety hazard that shortens the useful life of the closer mechanism.
Existing Door Closer was Poorly Installed and Calibrated

Oil Level is Low or Seal Repair is Needed
Oil leakage often reveals mechanical problems with the door closer, which could include a failed seal, missing screws or cracked O-rings. A faulty seal, creates a gap and improper door clearance. When this occurs, hardware suffers excessive wear and tear, and oil leaks may result. Let our professionals replace the door closer lubricant so that doors open in a predictable, safe manner.
Locking the Door is Difficult
If it’s hard to lock the door, it could be accidentally left unlocked. At the very least, faulty locks are frustrating and inconvenient, delaying you from entering or leaving the premises. At worst, they pose a security problem. What's more, a malfunctioning lock mechanism can shorten the life of your door closer or damage the door frame.
